Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1271
Adrian glared at Joshua and strode forward to approach the doctor. “How is she, doctor?“
“Don’t worry, she’s out of danger, “ the doctor replied. He let out a sigh, glanced first at Adrian, then at Joshua. “It’s just that she’s unconscious now, and from my speculation, the earliest she’ll regain consciousness is in about 6 hours.“
The doctor’s words made Adrian’s heart skip a beat. “ Then…how about the worst-case scenario?“
The doctor shook his head but did not say anything in response.
The color drained from Adrian’s face, and he took a step back.
No answer. This meant Granny Lynch might not even wake up at all.
How could this happen? He had not had the chance to fake her will yet. Joshua was the one who possessed ownership over the entire Lynch family fortune, and even taking a small sum of money from him would be extremely difficult. If Granny Lynch died without a will, Adrian knew that he would not have a single chance to inherit any fortune from the family!
Adrian turned around and gave Joshua a murderous glare. “It’s all your fault! “
As soon as he said this, he fell into a brief silence and suddenly recalled that Aura still had the antidote.
If he managed to get the antidote, Granny Lynch would be able to regain consciousness soon.
As soon as he thought of this, Adrian took a deep breath and turned to leave without even giving Granny Lynch, who was wheeled out of the emergency room, a second glance.
”What a good-for -nothing b*stard. ” Jude snapped as he shot Adrian’s retreating figure a murderous look. Then, after a moment, he turned around.
Joshua was standing next to Granny Lynch’s bed, holding onto her hand with red-rimmed eyes.
His penetrating gaze was fixated on Granny Lynch’s face, the sadness and regret in his eyes so deep that it seemed endless.
Jude sighed, went up to Joshua, and gave him a few pats on his back.
”He’s right. It’s all my fault, ” muttered Joshua as he stared at Granny Lynch’s pale face and closed eyes. ” I always thought Granny was a mentally strong person. If I don’t let her know what kind of person Adrian and Celia are, she’ll never be awakened from the truth and keep on thinking that this was the kind of family I needed to be around after she died.”
As he said this, Joshua gently stroked Granny Lynch’s wrinkled face. ”I guess to me, family isn’t that important at all. Who would’ve thought such a useless man as Adrian would mean so much to Granny… ”
All these years, Adrian had never been a reliable person. He never contributed to any of Lynch Group’s work, and he had never taken up a father’s responsibility.
Joshua thought Granny Lynch had already gotten used to this and had been disappointed in him for a long time, but to his surprise…
Jude did not know how to console Joshua, so all he could do was let out a sigh and reply, “Maybe the older people get, the more they’ll value family.“
After a few more check-ups to make sure Granny Lynch’s condition had stabilized, Joshua followed the doctor as they wheeled her into the ICU.
After coming out from the ICU, Joshua made sure the doctor gave Nellie, who was poisoned too, a check-up as well.
Once confirmed that Nellie was fine, Joshua let out a sigh of relief and asked Jude to send Nellie and Nigel back to Lynch Mansion before giving Bonnie a call.
He had been busy almost all night. Despite this, he had not forgotten about the woman who was alone and sad in the bar because of Adrian.
At this moment, Bonnie and Anne had already moved a drunken Luna from the bar to a hotel room upstairs.
When Joshua entered through the door, a drunken Luna was clinging to Anne, sobbing and laughing at the same time. “Joshua… How could you let me suspect you? Why didn’t you explain to me what was going on?“
Joshua let out a helpless sigh, walked up to Anne, and pulled Luna out of her arms and into his. “How could I possibly explain if you never even asked me? Hmm/“
He held her tightly and managed to coax her onto the bed.
Anne and Bonnie exchanged glances, then left the room unanimously.
”Luna. ” Joshua pulled her close to him and closed his eyes as he inhaled the scent of her hair.
He was not the same as Adrian.
